Our lives have been in such turmoil with the move to Colorado and move back to Seattle. There has been so many job interviews between Charles and I and trying to figure out daycare and where we are going to live etc. The job I thought I was going to do ended up being too far away with traffic (hour each way or more). Redmond is only 15 miles from where we are renting right now! Traffic is terrible on the East side of Lake Washington.

Some good new though! I was offered a job in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle. The hours work really well for us: M 8-5, T 8-6, W 8-5 and every other Saturday. Saturdays are good days for me to work right now since we can have income without having to pay for daycare! Working every other Saturday is so ideal because we can have some family time too!

Other good news is that Charles and Max and I can commute together! He can drop me off, then drop Max off on Queen Anne at his daycare then head downtown to work. That is exactly what we had hoped for!

Now we can concentrate on finding a house.

As for Max and his daycare.....we moved him from ELDC in Lynnwood to Cosmopolitan Kids on Queen Anne. This is 5 min from Charles's work. I'm feeling pretty good about it. I have my reservations about every daycare I go in because we can't afford to send him to the best ones but I think Cosmo Kids will be good. I asked several parents about there experience with them and they had good things to say. Casey and Misty are his teachers. He still cries when he's dropped off but when I call to check on him, Misty says he gets better as the day goes on.
